Ok, v4 here. tested failure path and success path.

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Presently, at task migration among cgroups, memory cgroup scans page tables and
moves accounting if flags are properly set.


The core code, mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range() does

 	pte_offset_map_lock();
	for all ptes in a page table:
		1. look into page table, find_and_get a page
		2. remove it from LRU.
		3. move charge.
		4. putback to LRU. put_page()
	pte_offset_map_unlock();

for pte entries on a 3rd level? page table.

As a planned updates, we'll support dirty-page accounting. Because move_charge()
is highly race, we need to add more check in move_charge.
For example, lock_page();-> wait_on_page_writeback();-> unlock_page();
is an candidate for new check.


This patch modifies a rountine as

	for 32 pages: pte_offset_map_lock()
		      find_and_get a page
		      record it
		      pte_offset_map_unlock()
	for all recorded pages
		      isolate it from LRU.
		      move charge
		      putback to LRU
		      put_page()
Code size change is:
(Before)
[kamezawa@bluextal mmotm-1008]$ size mm/memcontrol.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  28247    7685    4100   40032    9c60 mm/memcontrol.o
(After)
[kamezawa@bluextal mmotm-1008]$ size mm/memcontrol.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  28591    7685    4100   40376    9db8 mm/memcontrol.o

Easy Bencmark score.

I think this is not very bad. 

Changelog: v3->v4
 - fixed bug in error path (at resource shortage, putback is not necessary)

Changelog: v2->v3
 - rebased onto mmotm 1008
 - redecued the number of loops.
 - clean ups. reduced unnecessary switch, break, continue, goto.
 - added kzalloc again.

Changelog: v1->v2
 - removed kzalloc() of mc_target. preallocate it on "mc"
